Comparison Between The Effect of Intracavernosal Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma as a Single Agent vs Daily Oral 5 Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor Intake as a Single Agent Vs Combination In Improving of Erectile Dysfunction
Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the commonest disorders in adult males and affects 12-19% of men of reproductive age.Erectile dysfunction can be due to vasculogenic, neurogenic, hormonal, veno-occlusive, psychogenic and/or pharmacogenic factors.
PRP is autologous plasma that has a platelet concentration above the concentrations typically found in whole blood and is derived from the patient's own blood (autologous) through a process of centrifugation. PDE5Is inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) leading to dilatation of the penile arteries leads to a more prolonged erection.
Conditions: Erectile Dysfunction.
Primary outcome: Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.
Enrollment: 75 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 75 participants or records.
